Shaving With Arko Stick

I knew when I went back to work it would only be a matter of time before I caught a cold 10 days to be exact. Everyone was sick before I returned and the flu was going around the office in the two months I was out. I was lucky not to get that I just got a common cold. But others were not so lucky some of them had been out close to two weeks and when they returned they looked weak.

I have the advantage of not being able to smell anything and thought this was a great time to use the Arko stick. Not a big fan of the scent and since I can't smell anything it was perfect timing.

Shaving With Shaver Heaven

I was trying to narrow down what I was going to use and opened the lid and once I caught the scent (lemons) I was hooked.

Shaver Heaven was an Australian artisan shaving soap company that gained a loyal following in the wet shaving community for its high-quality, handcrafted soaps. Known for its rich, slick lather and thoughtfully crafted scents, Shaver Heaven developed a strong reputation among traditional wet shavers.

The company was founded by Anthony Macri and operated for a few years before closing down. Despite its relatively short time in the market, Shaver Heaven left a lasting impression, with many enthusiasts still reminiscing about their favorite scents and the performance of the soaps. Some of the brand’s most beloved scents included Divine, Fresh, and Forbidden Forest.

Shaving with Shea Moisture Men Smoothing Shave Butter

Today I'm using Shea Moisture Men Smoothing Shave Butter. I found this product a few years back looking in our Rite Aid for something new. Sadly we have no more Rite Aids where I live they have all disappeared. One more thing about Rite Aid it was the best place to pick up prescriptions in and out so fast they had an amazing team behind the counters.

Getting back to the Shea Moisture Men Smoothing Shave Butter
Designed with the needs of men in mind, Shea Moisture Men Smoothing Shave Butter offers a luxurious shaving experience while delivering premium skincare benefits. Enriched with natural ingredients like shea butter and coconut oil, this shave butter provides a rich, non-lathering formula that glides effortlessly onto the skin, allowing for a closer, smoother shave.

Shaving With Modern Barbershop

This week, I am getting back into the routine disrupted by working from home for two months. I have to admit I didn't want to go back to getting up at 4:00AM and heading to the Penn station so I could open at 7:30AM but this is my reality so I do it until I don't have to anymore (Very Soon).

That brings me to shaving with Modern Barbershop and to shake things up a bit more I'm using the Rockwell T2 DE adjustable on setting 2 and the rarely used Skull brush. A crazy combination but it worked great.

Shaving With Palmolive Stick

On January 2nd I got to use one of my favorite products the Palmolive Shaving Stick.

The Palmolive Shaving Stick is a classic, budget-friendly shaving soap that has been a staple in the wet shaving community for decades. Known for its excellent value and performance, it offers a traditional shaving experience with the following key features:

Ingredients and Formula
Tallow-based: The classic formula includes tallow, which provides a rich and creamy lather that is both cushioning and moisturizing.

Mild scent: It has a clean, soapy scent with subtle herbal or citrus undertones, making it inoffensive and suitable for everyday use.

Shaving With Artillery Gunner

I get to use Artillery Gunner today from the Dirty Girls series this scent is based on Yves Saint LaurentL'Homme" I used to wear this one in my late 20s or early 30s. I just loved it and now I can shave with it as well. A fantastic lather with amazing slickness & glide and a wonderful post-shave feel. only to be improved by the aftershave which I didn't want to take out of stock so I opted for an American blend not a match but Fine has some wonderful aftershave I must say.

As for the movies I watch this time I added a book to the mix. Matthew Perry's memoir, Life, Love, and the Terrible Thing, is a candid and heartfelt exploration of the actor's life, career, and struggles with addiction. Known for his iconic role as Chandler Bing on Friends, Perry delves deeply into his personal journey, offering readers an unflinching look at his battles with alcohol and substance abuse, which began in his early twenties and persisted throughout much of his life. The first chapter will open your eyes to just how bad it was.
